THE AsHEyILLE METHODIST.

per, new enterprise to be at once
established in this city, is before US.
Rev. J. F. Austin is editor, Rev. G.
T. Carroll associate editor. The
purpose of the publication is thus
stated by Mr.. Austin:
"A first class monthly, at fifty
cents year, published within our
own bounds, may be placed in most
of the Methodist homes Of this pros
porous mountain country. 1t is not
our purpose to crowd out our Nash
Vile Advocate and HoLSton Methodist,
but to supplement them with a
bright, sparkling, religious monthly
paper, at price within the reach of
all. Our pious and brainy breth~
ren, who have promised to assist us
in filling our columns with reli-
gious matter, are strong friends and
supporters of the excellent papers
mentioned above. Q%sApreachers
are anxious for asANG.: 1.5ec in
which they may publish appoint
ment5, revival notes and many
other local items of interest which
may be seen and read by the
masses"
DR., Carroll says:
The paper is to be devoted to the
interests of christianity generally,
and particularly to the interests Of
southern methodism in this rapidly
developing section of our State. 1t
will be the purpose Of the editor to
make it medium of inter commu-
nicdtion between the various fields
of our work in Western Horth Caro-
liza, and TO furnish useful informa-
ton to our people on all subjects of
religious interest. We greatly need
a deeper and more wide spread in
terest on the subject OF christian ed
ucation. 1t shall be our effort to
aid, as far as possible, in creating
this interest. There is, also, great
lack of missionary intelligence and
intelligence on other matters OF
church enterprise, among US, which
we propose to supply by crowding
our columns brim full of carefully
selected items of information on all
of these subjects, and thereby aid,
as far as we can, in building up all
the interests of the Ceurch of God"
We sincerely wish the Methodist
may receive that encouragement
and sympathy its merits and high
purposes will entitle it to.
We clip the following interesting
items from the number before US:

The last session of the Holston
Con- l4rence was one of unusual m
terest. The Conference unanimously
voted for AsAeviIle as the place for
holding its next session. Ju1ging
from what we know of the good
people of this live City, our brethren
will be hosp :tably entertained.
Many Of the very best, cleverest
and mo- benevolent business men
live in Asheville. No wonder she is
a liye, progressive churchy city. It
pays more missionary money, it is
said, than any other city in the
bounds of the Holston Conference
The work of the Church, in the
District, was never so
as at the commencement
ofthis Conference year. The preach
ers are consecrated, capable men,
and if the stewards and other mems
bers of the church will give the
needful encouragement at the be,
inning and all through the year,
the WORK will g ON vigorously.
II men would attend church busi-
ness as they attend t. cff.eir own in
dividual business, church work
would be better performed and
churches would be more successful.

to the business Of the Lord they
would be bankrupt in six months.
